GYM JONES x NTOA PFQ PREP PROGRAM

Gym Jones

Coaches
Matt Owen and Jared Wihongi

Gym Jones has a long history of training law enforcement and military operators, and believes mental and physical strength are the foundation for all outstanding performance in any field. In dedicating ourselves to the safety, effectiveness, and well-being of our Tactical Athletes, we have seen that effective physical training enables critical thinking under stress, lessens the chance of injury or sickness, and makes for a strong and reliable teammate. We have developed programs for all branches of military and law enforcement to this end. The NTOA has asked Gym Jones to develop a program aimed at not only preparing tactical athletes for the NTOA SWAT Physical Fitness Qualification (PFQ), but progressing their fitness beyond the ability to pass the test. Gym Jones seeks to prepare tactical athletes to meet and exceed the standard, and to continually improve operational readiness beyond qualification through this 16-week program.
